Kirkland Lake reviews selling or redeveloping its underused airport due to high costs and $7M in projected repairs.

Kirkland Lake is reviewing potential redevelopment or sale of its municipal airport due to declining use, high operating costs, and projected capital expenses exceeding $7 million over the next decade, including $5 million for runway replacement. The town will issue a formal request for expressions of interest to explore divestment, aiming to gauge market interest without setting a price to encourage creative proposals. A closed council session and public meeting will precede any final decisions, following previous municipal divestments and aligning with fiscal responsibility and strategic planning goals.
